MV List,

I may be getting an M416 trailer soon. I need to know height, length,
width, and weight for shipping quotes.

According to Coleman's surplus website, they are 6' L x 4' W, & 550 lbs.
Is that accurate? I think that the 6x4 part is just the size of the
tub... I'm sure someone here that owns one would really know better.

I know it's the wrong trailer for my jeep. I've been looking for an M100
trailer for some time... Seems like I'll never find one that not
absurdly over priced.
$500+ is about the lowest I've seen, but those have been civy-converted
to a 2" ball, 12V, usually missing the box, landing leg, painted the
wrong color, non-original body repairs or conversions. Basically a
carcass that needs a complete rebuild/repair/restoration. There's one on
ebay that a guy is asking $750 for, for example. I guess for a civy
trailer, that's a deal though. From the MV viewpoint, it's overpriced
junk.
$650~750 is common for ones that need varying grades of restorations
$1,000+ for ones that are good to go. Eh, that's just too much, ya know?
